Edit: shotgun parking next to you if you do, all we need is a Mk3 sedan and the scene will be complete

21st and 22nd of May I think? Or the weekend closest to that. And yeah, hopefully my car will be finished (at least aesthetically) by then
Sedans are gonna rule the Nats this year!

[dylan8]

sweet, should be there.
Hopefully have the new wheels on and finished by then

Sooooo after a massive battle on my old computer I now have access to photo bucket.
and here are the results




ewwwww, so much room between wheel and guard.


Just clearing (milk bottle is 10cm wide..)


No more poke/properfitment


No more fatness..

Have also had my catalytic converter replaced with a high flow one, and new clutch pedal after the old one got repaired and reinstalled (thank very much to my gfs dad for the repair!

Getting the height right on the car was interesting, rear ideally only had to be lifted 1cm to clear, but I lifted it a inch to make sure, front was lifted 50mm or so + some in increased tyre diameter and it only just cleared…

Passed in flying colours and got the car back on the road. The girl at Vic roads apparently wasnt impressed that the officer didn’t a) measure the car, b) leave her a point to double check against. But not my problem now..

Helper springs will be getting removed next week hopefully, and some new wide 19s will be fitted under the coil overs, while my 18s are away getting painted

Wheel status is currently
1x15 steel spare
4x16 oem bora wheels
2x17 tocattas
4x17 bbs rs
4x18 (nats surprise if all goes to plan)
4x19 revealed soon.

think i have a problem...

Great pics dyl, and yes your are a massive wheel whore now. "BUT".

You may of paid for the 19's but they are not in your possession yet

Also on another note i would like you to put a Ban on you making anymore purchases for your car until you buy and install a set of black euro plates.

We have the photos to prove it looks awesome so there is no excuse, hurry up and get them or i will bitch slap you this weekend.

Very nice list of wheels mate, your car's really coming together. I'd love to get to the Nats and see it in person if you're going.

[dylan8]

haha they do look awesome time. But sooo expensive, ill see how the bank account is looking this month after i pay my tax bill.

I should be at nats. Cars not crash hot in person, i really need to take better care of it...

After being down in melbourne i picked up my new (newest) wheels and had them fitted up.
Thanks very much to Tim for finding them, picking them up, and helping me fit them)
drove the car back to b'town with massive reverse rake and 4 finger gap width between the tyre and arch.
Lowered the front as far as i could go on the coilovers without taking the helpers out or using spacers.
Gave the car a quick wash tonight and went out for some photos, i left the tyre shine off so it was easier to see the wheels for photos...


Photos aren't great... but you get the idea.
I'm not going to slam it on the 19s at this stage, but will be lowering it all round some more (2cm or so) and spacing the rear out a bit

Also received some centre caps in the mail on friday... hopefully some ideas on whats to come.
I'll let you work out whats new and whats old...

... and no, i promise 'koya wheels' has nothing to do with it... thats just what was on them when i got them
